Westhampton Beach is an incorporated village within the Town of Southampton in Suffolk County, on the South Shore of Long Island.

Westhampton Beach was incorporated as a village in 1928.

The Westhampton Beach area was first settled by English colonists in 1666 as part of the Quogue Purchase, on land the Shinnecock people called Ketchaponack.

Westhampton Beach had a population of 2,150 at the 2020 census, up from 1,721 in 2010.

The village covers about 3.0 square miles in total, of which roughly 2.9 square miles is land.

The Great Hurricane of 1938 — the Long Island Express — made landfall at Westhampton Beach, obliterating almost all the summer homes on its barrier beach and killing twenty-nine people in the community.

Westhampton Beach is known as the 'First Hampton' because it was the first Hamptons village to rent rooms to summer visitors and the first reached by the Long Island Rail Road, whose spur arrived in 1870.

Three Westhampton Beach properties — the Crowther House, the Foster-Meeker House, and the U.S. Post Office — are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
